================
The 2008 Summer Olympics will be celebrated from August 8, 2008, to August 24, 2008, with the opening ceremony beginning at 08:08:08 pm at the Beijing National Stadium in Beijing, China. Some events will be held outside Beijing, namely football in Qinhuangdao, Shanghai, Shenyang and Tianjin, equestrian in Hong Kong and sailing in Qingdao.

The Fuwa, formerly "Friendlies", are the mascots of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The designs were created by Han Meilin, a famous artist in China. The designs were publicly announced by the National Society of Chinese Classic Literature Studies on November 11, 2005 at an event marking the 1000th day before the opening of the games.

The Fuwa group consists of five members according to the traditional five elements: Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini. Each of the five names is designed to look like a plausible name for a small child, while also achieving a more complex task: when the first syllable of each name is put together, it sounds nearly identical to the phrase "北京欢迎你", 北京欢迎你 which means "Beijing welcomes you".

Two of the five mascots represent members of endangered species – Jingjing the giant panda and Yingying the Tibetan antelope. The other three, Beibei, Huanhuan and Nini, represent the fish, the Olympic Flame and the swallow respectively. Each of the five figures also embodies the color of one of the five Olympic Rings.
